Born in Seoul, Korea, and educated at Juilliard in New York City, the sisters who make up the Ahn Trio (cellist Maria, pianist Lucia, and violinist Angella) are constantly redefining the art and architecture of chamber music, breathing new life into the standard piano-trio literature. The trio’s latest CD, Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac, showcases this vibrant and original music. Whether playing in Vienna’s Musikverein, or for 10,000 screaming fans at the World Music Festival, they share their innovative spirit and ever-evolving vision of music in every performance.
